I think I liked that, not sure yet though, think I need another watch.
In other news, according to the reliable Mr F, formerly of Gallifrey Base, now of Planet Mondas, this is a full synopsis for The Name Of The Doctor. if true contains huge spoilers for both that ep and the 50th: Spoiler: |
I really liked the episode, it's nice that the Doctor has stopped looking at Clara as a mystery at last, and realised she's still a person. Also, I want to read the timewar book.
|
It was a good episode although the scavenger characters did their best to ruin it. Bad actors, bad characters and there was no point to them whatsoever. It would have been better to just make the episode a double hander between Clara and the Doctor.
|
The "android" one was the only one who was worth a damn, I wish the other two stayed dead, lol.
|
I am in the minority here, as I think DW is getting steadily worse and more nonsensical than usual, and am wondering now whether to just give up on it. Pity as it started off with such promise with Matt, the nearest so far to the old DW's.
|
I've actually found it much better lately, I didn't like series 5 & 6, plus the show has been MUCH more nonsensical in the past, remember the farting aliens? Absorbaloff?
|
Moffet's done a great job with the series, Russell T Davies was fun but he constantly relied on the same tropes and deux ex machinas. Remember when the Daleks were behind nearly all the plots?

Series 2 - The Daleks coming through the portal to take over. Series 4 - The Daleks are resurrected again by what's his face to destroy Reality. Three out of four of RTD's series relied on pretty much the same damn story. Never mind the fact that RTD relied on merely repeating phrases over and over to create an illusion of a story arc in each season (Bad Wolf, Torchwood, Harold Saxon, The Bees disappearing/Medusa Cascade). Moffat created actual arcs that aren't reliant on the godamn Daleks making an appearance at the end of nearly every series. |
The Daleks are contractually obligated to appear in every series. The BBC don't own the rights to the Daleks.
But I agree with Dezzy, the RTD era did seriously overuse the Daleks. He brought them back over and over and wiped them out over and over. I like how Moffat brought them back in series 5 and let them live, while also keeping them in the background. Even with AotD, he left them to it. |

I don't like Moffat's Doctor Who tbh, he comes up with interesting plots but he can't seem to get a good cast together imo.
|
A lot of the cast has been amazing Mock :nono:
|
I only like Matt Smith as The Doctor.
|
Rory and Clara are/was amazing o: I didn't like Amy Pond because of her character (not because of the actress).

I much prefered The Master's episodes. But even those suffered from the "But one survived!" trope when he was ressurected in The End of Time. Moffat has handled the Daleks so much better, there's actually an entire Dalek Empire in the universe, and they're not attacking modern day earth again, only to be thawrted by the giant reset button. |
